Temple Emanu-El welcomes Rabbi Arturo Kalfus.
T
emple Emanu-El of Oak Park
members have hired Rabbi
Arturo Kalfus to be the new
rabbi for the congregation beginning
July 1.
Rabbi Joseph Klein, who has served
the congregation since 1997, will be
retiring to become
rabbi emeritus.
Lynn Cooper of Oak
Park and Russell Wise
of Huntington Woods
co-chaired the search
committee and led a
diverse, committed
group of 14 members.
Rabbi Arturo
The committee was
Kalfus
unanimous in its rec-
ommendation, and the board of trustees
and membership were also unanimously
in support.
Kalfus has been a rabbi in both larger
and smaller congregations. He is cur-
rently associate rabbi at Temple Beth Am
in Miami and has also been with Anshe
Chesed Fairmount Temple in Cleveland,
Temple Emeth in New Jersey, Temple
Emanuel in Long Island and Temple Beth
Emeth in Albany.
Passionate about his role as rabbi, he
said he looks forward to engaging his
new congregation in worship, study and
social connections. He will get down on
the floor with the temple's tiniest tots
and hold a scholarly conversation with
college-bound students.
He also said he will see that Emanu-El
continues to grow by being inclusive and
welcoming, and by reaching out to those
who are unaffiliated. He expressed his
eagerness to learn about and engage with
Detroit's Jewish community.
Kalfus brings with him his wife,
Phyllis, and teen children, Ari and Lilah.
He was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, and ordained at the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion in New York. In addition to
study at HUC, he attended Columbia
University, the Sorbonne, the Jewish
Theological Seminary and received
his bachelor's degree in Jewish history
and Jewish philosophy from Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
He speaks English, Hebrew, Spanish
and French. Other interests include
family camping, painting and "a great
piano concert:'

his will be the year of decision
with Iran:' Dan Mariaschin,
executive vice president of B'nai
B'rith International, told the 200 men
from 16 local congregations who braved
a snowstorm Feb. 26 to attend the
81st Annual Intercongregational Men's
Club Dinner at Temple Israel in West
Bloomfield.
Mariaschin said the Iranians "con-
tinue to obfuscate while the centrifuges
continue to whir:'
Iran will be a topic on President
Obama's visit to Israel on March 20,
which Mariaschin welcomed, though
calling it "long overdue:'
"They will talk about settlements,
including borders and incitement:'
as well as Syria, Egypt and the other
upheavals in the region commonly
referred to as "the Arab Spring:'
Mariaschin applauded the "courage"
of the Bulgarian government to say "that
Hezbollah was behind the [July 2012
attack on the Burgas Airport that killed
five Israeli tourists and the bus driver,
and injured 32], and that it was funded
from Lebanon:'
Bulgaria put serious pressure on the
European Union, which repeatedly
declined to join the U.S., Canada and
others who have classified Hezbollah as
a terrorist organization.
"Everyone has come up with an
excuse" not to do so, he said, recalling
Hezbollah and Iranian involvement
in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish
Community Center in Buenos Aires,
killing 85 people, and Hezbollah's 1983
bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in
Beirut, which killed 241.
He also expressed deep concerns
about Egypt, noting a recently discov-
ered 2010 speech by now-Egyptian
President Morsi castigating Jews in
religious terms; the BDS (Boycott,
Divestment, Sanctions) movement on
our nation's college campuses, which
he calls D&D, demonization and dele-
gitimization; and the United Nation's
granting of the Palestinian Authority's
request for an upgrade in status.
Noting that the 1994 Camp David
Accords told both Israel and the P.A. not
to take unilateral moves and to negoti-
ate directly, he said, "the Palestinians
have made the conscious choice that
the international community can do
the heavy lifting for them:' instead of
returning to peace negotiations with
Israel.
